If you often exercise or travel, the Jaybird Vista 2's sweatproof and active noise cancelling features, along with a long battery life and wireless design, make them more suitable for active lifestyles. They are also more portable and better for calls and meetings. However, for superior sound quality especially for music and TV, the Moondrop Blessing 3 would be a better choice, though keep in mind they are wired and lack features such as an app equalizer, which limits customization, and they aren't designed for exercise or travel. Consider also that the Moondrop has a detachable cable and balanced audio capabilities, which could be a plus for audiophiles. Give Feedback

How the Jaybird Vista 2 and the Moondrop Blessing 3 compare to other earbuds and headphones
"Compared to the original Vista, the Jaybird Vista 2 adds some key features including ANC and SurroundSense to control how much environmental noise you hear. If you're an athlete and are looking for rugged earbuds with tons of customization options, the Jaybird Vista 2 makes for a good option—but only if you are able to achieve a proper fit from the proprietary ear tips."
"The Moondrop Blessing 3 has excellent imaging performance, especially for the price. Pair that with its neutral tonality with slight elevations towards both ends of the frequency response, and the Blessing 3 technically proficient set of IEMs that are also enjoyable to listen to every day."
